Hey all you Floridians can you recommend some springs to dive in Florida next week (Sept 11-15) We are making the trip from Ohio to do some freediving from Mon-Fri. We would like to find at least 5 or 6 different springs to dive while there. It would be nice if you could list 6 springs in order of "must do" importance. We are capable of dives up to 100 ft. so we would like to find one or two with some decent depth. Accessability will also be an issue as we will not have any kind of boat/canoe/kayak/etc. so we will have to be able to walk to the site from our vehicle. Do you know of any hotels in the general area with a nice swimming pool to do some dynamic training in? I hate those cookie cutter 3 ft deep pools that are like 30'x15' in size that are all they seem to put in hotels anymore. Last but not least is there anyone that would like to dive with us while we are visiting as it would be great to meet some of you veteran spring divers?? Is freediving allowed at the Blue Grotto?
I am not scuba certified.

I know that is a lot of questions and want to thank you in advance for making this a great freediving week! Sorry for the short notice but we kind of decided on this at the last minute.

Mike,

What a coincidence!!!! A few of us are meeting at Blue Spring north of Orlando on the 16th and then shooting over to Troy Springs. Maybe you can stay an extra day. PM cdavis for further info.
